Welcome to the aggressive life.

This is special seven-part series celebrating the nationwide release of my book, Move, a guide to get up and go forward.

It's a 70-day devotional guide meant to push your life forward.

This week, we're working through the first seven days of content together. So let's get to it. Time for day three.

Three. The Grace, Truth Paradox. John 1.14.

The word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only

son from the father, full of grace and truth.

A paradox is when two opposing concepts are united to make one powerful truth. We believe grace and

truth are opposed to one another, yet their unity brings transcendent spiritual power.

Truth is about reality, regardless of the pain. Grace is about second chances. Truth is that

when you lose your balance, gravity sucks. Grace is the mattress

placed under you. Most of us either fully embrace grace or we fully embrace truth. Grace people are

always willing to forgive to a fault, if that's even possible. Truth people cut you off after one misstep.

Grace people try to understand a person who has had bad beliefs.

Truth people just give straight talk.

Grace people are okay with ambiguity.

Truth people see everything fitting into a math equation.

Jesus doesn't operate just as truth or just as grace. He fully embodies both.

The truth is that I'm a sinner who deserves eternal hell. The grace of Jesus enables me not only

to escape that place, but to abide in a fulfilling and lasting relationship with God.

There were times when Jesus gave truth and there were times when he gave grace,

but he refused to be pigeonholed in one category or the other.
